How to Make It

Step 1 – Warm the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F. As it heats, you’ll feel that cozy wave of warmth fill the kitchen, a soft promise of good things ahead.

Step 2 – Mix the Sweet Blueberries

In a bowl, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the blueberries and gently fold them together.

Step 4 – Add the Filling

Pour the blueberry mixture into the crust. Dot the top with little pieces of butter like tiny pockets of richness just waiting to melt.

Step 5 – Create the Lattice

Step 6 – Make It Shine

Step 7 – Bake to Golden Bliss

Let it cool so the juices settle even though waiting is the hardest part.
